~DRuCGIST'S MISTAKE.
A Sick Mans vile Ddisregards The pruaaisps
Advice and So Saves the Lie Of
Her Husband.


am n wood carver by trade and it !.
out of my line 10 write letters; but my
wife thought it was no more than right
that l should let you know what your
remedy has. done for me, and 1 think
so too.
live in East 18th street, west OF
Third avenue, and have lived there for
about twcnty-thrcc years, where L own
real estate. Up to the time I am about
to mention 1 had been n strong, well
man.. There was always more or less
malaria in the neighborhood, but had
not personally suffered FRONT it. 1t was
in 1880 1 had my first attack. 1t came
on as such attacks commonly do. with
headaches. loss of appetite and ambi-
tom. chilly sensations with slight fever
afterwards, a disposition to yawn and
stretch, and so forth. l was employed
at that time at Killians & Brothers,
furniture manufacturers, in West sod
street. ! hoped the attack would wear
off. but as it didn't 1 consulted n we'll
known and able physician in Norris
ania, who gave me q mime and told me
what to do. / can sum up the first four
and a half or five years of my cxperi-
cnce in few words. Occasionally I
vas laid up for a day or two, but on
the whole 1 stuck to my work. l kept
taking quinine, in larger doses from
year to year, and kept on getting weak
or and worse, slowly but surely, all the
time. My trouble was now well de-
fined and its symptoms were steady and
regular. 1 had dumb ague in its worst
form. and it was grinding me down in
spite of all that l could do or the doc
tors could do. 1t held me in a grip like
fire IN q burning cOat mine. The poison
had gone all through and over me and
nothing was able to touch it. l was
fast losing flesh and strength. and about
March, 1854, | knocked off work entire
~ and went home to bcdnwn sick, and
to die for all 1 could tell. Tran down so
rapidly that I soon became unable to
walk any distance. Later ! went from
room to room in my own horIse-only by
friends holding me up by each arm. The
doses of GlIinine were increased until 1
often took thirty gTGiMS at u dose. The
effects of this tremendous stimulation
was to maRr nc nearly wild. 1t broke
my sleep all mp. and | often walked the
floor. or staggered about il. all night
long, scarcely able to bcar any noises
Or even human speech. My temper
was extremely Irritable. AS to food.
one of my littb. children would eat
more in n meal than l could in n day.
1 would order fool and then turn from
it in disgust. I lived on qrlinine and
other stimulants and on my$cif, like a
bear in winter The G%Iininr set my
head in n wlirl. and the liqunr-givcn
as n medicine made my stomach so
sick / could not tolerate it.
From 175 pounds (my proper wcight)
I n down to 81 pounds-the weight
of a light girl-and was scarcely better
than 4 skeleton.
If anybody had taken a hatchct and
knocked me do1rn and killed me I should
haze been better Of:
During the latter part of this period,
early in 1886, my physician said:
miller, there's no use in my taking
any more money of you. ] can't do you
any good. 1 might pour pounds of quiz
down your throat and it wouldn't
help you"
On the strength of this I gave mp the
use of q%uininc altogether. and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
my chances.
Three weeks afterwards-ahout the
last of May-my wife say an advertise
ment of Kaskine in Il New York paper.
She told me of it. l said: "Stuff and
n~Dnscnsc! it can't do me any good"
But she went to Il druggists, ncverthe-
less, to get it. The druggist advised
her against Kaskine: he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
to throw away her money on it, &c.
He said he didn't keep il. but could get
it if she insisted on having it. Turn
ing away in disgust my wife spoke to
II neighl"r, Mr.. i. G. H~egcwald,
.,Go .-t L., -, f,,.f 10 a. n f1nr stn,.a IN
Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without
the least faith. / began taking it. In
one week | was better. / began to
sleep. ] stopped "sccing ghosts I
began to have an appetite an! to gain
strength. This was now the first OF
june. 1886, and by the end of that
month 1 was back nj my bench at c. P.
Smiths scroll saving factory in 10th
street, where l work now.
Since then l have "ve lost a day
from sickness. Taking Kaskine only,
about forty pellets i'll four equal doses
Il day, / continued to gain. The ma
laria appeared to be killed in my sys-
tenn, and now I've got back my old
wcight-175 pounts-and my old
strength 10 labor. / am an a%StOnisl-
ment to myself and to my friends. and

could do would he to bring a dead man

P. S.-For the absolute truth of the
above statement | refer to the following
gentlemen. who are personally ac-
quaintcd with the facts: MIR. Alex
ander Weir, 626 l5Gth St; Mr.. George
Seaman, 15SIh street and Cnurtlandt

avenue: Mr.. John Lunny, $50 East
1jStl street; Mr.. john Rcnshaw. 1874
125th street. and many others. l will
also reply to letters of inquiry.
We submit that the above astonish-
inw cure, vouchcd for as it is by repu-
table men. is deserving of Il thorough
and candid investigation by thinking
people. And we further submit that
when druggists turn away customers
Ey fa1sifying the character of a remedy
because they do not happen to have it
on hand, they do Il great wrong. II
this afflicted man had not diSrcgarded
the druggists advice and sem else
where for the remedy he would without
doubt have been in his grave.
Other letters of n similar character
from prominent individuals, which
stamp kaSkine as 4 remedy of I'M
doubted merit, will be sent on applica-
zion. Price. S1.00. or 6 bottles. $500.
Sold by Druggists, or sent by mail on
receipt of price.
